RIV-TI® Flex blind nuts consist of an elastic EPDM rivet body comprising a stainless steel or brass threaded insert. The fastener actively absorbs shocks, vibrations and noise. All that is needed to distort the EPDM rivet body is a screw; no special tools are required! The result is a well-formed distorted ridge. The fastener is removable and can be re-used for other jobs
RIV-TI® Flex blind nuts can also be used in blind hole applications. Turning the screw causes the distortion area to clamp against the internal wall of the hole. The retention force is dictated by the coarseness of the hole in the component.
RIV-TI® Flex is suitable for a very broad range of applications. The EPDM rivet body stands out for its high weather resistance and is thus exceptionally well-suited for use outdoors in particular. We are also able to manufacture rivet bodies using other combinations of materials to suit your particular needs. Neoprene or NBR rivet bodies are available subject to minimum order volumes being placed.
Neoprene exhibits positive properties in numerous applications and is electrically non-conductive. NBR is highly resistant to mineral oils, greases and hydrocarbons.
Easy, rational and time-saving installation – no tools required
- Prepare the drilled hole and insert the RIV-TI® Flex.
- Turn the screw to form the blind side footprint; no special tools are required.
- Use in blind side holes: RIV-TI® Flex presses against the drilled hole wall and forms a frictionless tight fit.
